JUNE CAROLYN FARRAR June One won't remember June without recalling the stack of mystery novels she usually carried with her to read during her spare minutes. A loyal classmate, she has served on a committee for every dance our class has sponsored, giving freely of her time and ambition. This ambition has been indeed great for she was one of the few who had enough credits to graduate even before beginning her senior year. She was also the mystery student in the magazine drive, which means she was specially awarded for the effort she had shown. June's will to learn and to work will doubtlessly continue to bring her success. 19
